1. Objective - Develop a test method that is: Representative of Actual Conditions Repeatable and Consistent Obtainable by All Labs in All Parts of the World

2. Test Method Co-Developed With NPRM...Test Method Perfection...Release NPRM Delay Implementation Process

3. Discrepancies in Calibration and Requirements Cold-Side Heat Flux: 1.5 or 2.0 Btu/ft 2 sec? Air Inlet Velocity: 2000, 2100, or 2200 ft/min?? Burner Heat Flux: 13.5 +/-0.5, 15.2 +/- 0.8, or 16.0 +/- 0.8??? Requirements have changed as more is learned about the equipment Chance for industry to participate in the development of the requirements

4. Objective of Testing, Research, & Round Robin: Establish Similar Calibration Procedure Produce Similar Exposure From Burner Achieve Similar Test Results

5. Factors That Can Influence Calibration Air Intake Velocity Air Intake Temperature Fuel Flowrate Fuel Temperature Instrumentation (type/size of thermocouple, calorimeter type) Other Adjustments (position of igniters, static disc, tabs) Fuel Type (Jet A, Diesel, Fuel Oil) Environmental Conditions (relative humidity, barometric pressure)

6. Latest Calibration Procedure Temperature: (1850 +/- 100 o F) Adjust Fuel Flowrate to 6.0 +/- 0.2 gal/hr Adjust Burner Intake Air Velocity to 2100 +/- 100 ft/min Heat Flux: (16.0 +/- 0.8 Btu/ft 2 sec) After 2-minute warm-up, swing burner into position, allow 1 minute stabilization, take reading for 30 seconds (once per second) and average, swing burner away from flame After 2-minute warm-up, swing burner into position, allow 1 minute stabilization, take reading for 30 seconds (once per second) and average, swing burner away from flame

7. Air Velocity/Airflow Measurement Reasons for measuring airflow at intake location: Allows for continuous monitoring Prevents removal/disruption of tabs Eliminates need to remove burner cone Intake velocity = Outlet velocity/
